Director Sky Bergman Presents Stories of ”Lives Well Lived”

Host Michael Azevedo is joined by director Sky Bergman to talk about her film, "Lives Well Lived." 

 

“Be endlessly engaged in whatever your passion is.” “Work a little less, spend a little less, enjoy life a little more.” “Sit loosely in the saddle of life as you go down the long trail.” These are among the many words of advice imparted by the 40 interview subjects in Sky Bergman’s documentary examining the lives of people ages 75 to 100.

Sky Bergman was inspired to make the film by her grandmother Evelyn, whom she started filming at age 99. Evelyn lived to be 103, long enough to see herself projected on the big screen at a film festival just three weeks before she passed away. Evelyn and the documentary’s 39 other subjects, represent some 3,000 years of collective life experience.
